Industrywatch Continued from page 114 Email the Editor: editor@shootingindustry.com PistolPay Aims To End Frustration istolPay, the online transaction platform, was created out of frustration. Ira Goodstadt, PistolPay’s COO, well remembers the day he was so upset he had to step outside his home. “I was angry. I paced up and down. I had bought a computer from someone on the Internet and I got a box of rocks. A box of rocks! I couldn’t contact them and my money was gone. I knew there had to be a better way,” Goodstadt said. PistolPay was born. Pro-firearm and backed by its strategic partners, Merchant Services LTD and BB&T Bank, PistolPay provides a secure method of conducting online transactions. A buyer is protected when PistolPay receives payments, and the company also protects the seller by verifying the receipt of the buyer’s funds. PistolPay holds the funds until the buyer has verified the purchase.
